Support From the Inside Out

Hormone therapy designed to support both mental and emotional wellbeing. Coming Soon!

Hormones don’t just affect the body — they play a powerful role in mood, focus, sleep, and energy. For individuals with mental health diagnoses, imbalances in estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or thyroid function can worsen psychiatric symptoms or make them harder to treat. At Breakthrough HQ, we integrate hormone replacement therapy into psychiatric care to support long-term emotional stability, clarity, and quality of life.

Our Approach

Psychiatric Perspective

We evaluate hormone health through the lens of psychiatry. Hormonal changes can worsen depression, anxiety, irritability, sleep problems, and concentration issues. By considering hormone balance alongside psychiatric treatment, we provide more comprehensive care.

Individualized Care

Treatment is guided by psychiatric and medical history, lab testing, symptoms, and your personal goals. Plans are tailored to support mental wellness, energy, and resilience.

Whole-Person Support

We combine HRT with recommendations for nutrition, sleep, stress management, and lifestyle factors — addressing the interconnected systems that influence mental health.

Women’s HRT

When Hormones Impact Mental Health

  • Mood swings, anxiety, or depression related to perimenopause or postpartum changes

  • Worsening of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD)

  • Sleep disturbances and fatigue tied to hormone shifts

  • Cognitive changes such as brain fog or reduced concentration

Treatment Options

Bioidentical estrogen and progesterone may be used to restore balance, always customized to your needs and closely monitored for safety.

Men’s HRT

When Hormones Impact Mental Health

  • Irritability, low mood, or reduced motivation with low testosterone

  • Fatigue and reduced stamina affecting focus and productivity

  • Sleep issues that worsen psychiatric symptoms

  • Cognitive changes such as brain fog or poor concentration

Treatment Options

Bioidentical testosterone therapy may be used, monitored with regular labs to ensure both safety and effectiveness.

Thyroid Optimization

Why Thyroid Health Matters

Thyroid hormones regulate energy, mood, and cognition. Low or imbalanced thyroid function can mimic or worsen psychiatric conditions such as depression, anxiety, and fatigue.

Treatment Options

When thyroid imbalance is identified, treatment may include thyroid optimization strategies designed to improve energy, mood stability, and overall mental health.
